Description

Distinguished from other tree squirrels by its smaller size, the American red squirrel is, as its common name suggests, a deep reddish brown in color, with white underparts and a white ring around the eye. Unlike their Grey Squirrel cousins, Red Squirrels are solitary animals very reluctant to share their food with others, although they share a den during the winter months to keep warm. Active just before winter, they hoard lots of food in burrows in the ground, in neighboring trees and nests.
